Product Information:
This is an awesome little gun that does not let you down.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS: When I first opened the box, I immediately knew that this gun was worth a whole lot more than $99. It is made primarily of extremely durable plastic, with some metal in other places. The metal parts include: front sight assemble, trigger, selector switch, magazine, gearbox and internals (from the few I've seen I've seen), screws and pins, stock mount, charging handle, and the threaded barrel. The gun has a hefty weight to it, which is very realistic.

BATTERY: The battery that comes with this gun is an 8.4v 1100 mAh stick battery. The battery is inserted by taking off the stock and sliding it down to the front of the gun. Once the battery is inserted, you must unscrew the HORRIBLE orange flash hider, push a pin out, and slide the fore grip off to access the connection point of the battery to the gun. This is a lengthy process that is a pain in the butt to do. I would F keeping the battery in and just charging it while in the gun.

POWER AND ACCURACY: The gun shoots at an expected muzzle velocity of around 335 FPS, as tested by ASGI on mine. This is plenty of power for a CQB primary, and more than enough for an outdoor secondary. The accuracy, however, is not that great. I am able to hit a target at about a maximum of 120 feet (not measured exactly).

RATE OF FIRE: The ROF of this gun is outstanding. I am guessing it is pushing 800 rpm on a fully charged battery. This is great and is enough to hold back an enemy or two on the field.

MAGAZINE: The magazine that this gun comes with is full metal and holds 240 rds. Sounds good right? Not hardly...I have yet to get my magazine to work. It will fire about 10 rds then need to be wound all the way once again, which takes a while. It also scratches really easy. To top it all off, the magazine is so loose that it has fallen out of my gun, spilling over 200 bbs on the floor twice. The trapdoor also flips looses on its own. I would just buy the five pack of King Arms 100rds mid caps and trash this magazine that comes with the gun. The gun also comes with a plastic 28 rd magazine, which works like a charm.

STOCK: The stock that this gun has is made of plastic, and is very sturdy. It can be folded to the side by pulling it up and folding it, or it can be taken off to look like an MP5K. The stock has a large metal mount that attaches it to the rest of the gun. This mount is made of solid metal and weighs about a pound by itself. It is very sturdy and adds to the weight of the gun.

FLASH HIDER: The gun comes with a long, plastic, bright orange flash hider. This is a QD flash hider, so it can easily be taken of by twisting it. Under it is a metal threaded barrel that is painted orange. I just keep the flash hider off and use the metal barrel, because it is much shorter and is painted a duller orange. I painted my plastic flash hider black, so I can have a black flash hider if I need it for whatever reason.

OVERALL: This gun is overall a great gun to have and use. Its ROF is enough to intimidate an enemy, and its versatility as a CQB weapon is great. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a cheap, reliable gun.

Thanks and God Bless!!
